Well the shotgun-testing-client does just that - for shotgun only - which was considered the last screw to fine-tune at the time; the basic concept could be adapted for more guns though, of course. When I left I was under the impression that finding some halfway acceptable values shouldn't be too hard - then release (possibly under a "beta"-tag), let the players find glitches in the balance. "beta" might dissuade some though, which would be counter-productive - you need lots and lots of games played and proper feedback, trying to improve balance not just improve the players weapon of choice!
I was expecting a one to three month run for this Balance-Candidate; with each passing month this period of field testing seems better than nothing happening.
